Weezer - Perfect Situation
Make Believe does not suck balls; taken as an ironic pop-rock album, it's actually quite good. And I like Pinkerton as much as the next guy. They're just different. Really, I think Make Believe got tossed out much too quickly. Perhaps I'm in a minority, but I think there's something there under the polished guitars and pop hooks worth listening to, perhaps not in spite of the album's mainstream appeal as somewhere within the appeal itself, if that makes any sense. I dunno. Perhaps I'm just thinking too much about it.
